Self-drilling endosteal hollow-basket implant system with shock-absorber

A self-drilling endosteal hollow-basket implant system with shock-absorber comprising:

• a. an implant fixture having an internal socket for receiving a tissue extension and having collection holes defining spaces between cutting teeth for drilling, and said teeth defining a hollow basket socket at the distal end of the implant;
• and
• b. a tissue extension, telescopically engageable into the internal socket of the implant fixture, said extension having an opening at one end which opens into a hollow interior cavity or socket for receiving a keeper;
• and
• c. a keep member to be inserted within the extension, said keeper member being selected from the group consisting of
• i. a keeper comprising a main central shaft extending throughout the length of the keeper and open at each end for receiving, collecting, and dispersing silicone rubber shock-absorbing fluid, and said keeper having an outer shape conforming to the hollow interior of the tissue extension but appreciably narrower than said hollow interior thus permitting said shock-absorbing fluid to be collected within said shaft and to be dispersed through that portion of the tissue extension hollow interior which remains unoccupied by said keeper;
• and
• ii. a keeper having an outer shape conforming to the hollow interior of the tissue extension except that said keeper further comprises a silicone rubber injection molded core, a network of silicone injection molded internal lateral ribs, and each rib having extended therefrom, at the outer surface of the keeper, silicone rubber injection molded suction cups which are releasably engageable from inside of the tissue extension;
• said keeper also comprising a seal member for closing the open end of the tissue extension upon insertion of the keeper therein.
